ICE = criminal organization
Another disabled person grabbed by ICE and denied accommodations.

Duglof has Epidermolysis Bullosa, or EB. His skin is fragile, causing it to tear easily.

He came to the US for specialized treatment and followed the process.

He is not a criminal.

It was never about crime.

Hani Duglof and his brother Mohamad Duklef left Libya more than a decade ago, unable to find relief for a rare condition that threatens to leave their skin torn and blistered at even the slightest pro...

Every measure of progress in history has been met with pushback from those in power.
This is another one of those moments.

‘You don’t have the privilege to be exhausted’: Jon Meacham reflects on this moment in history
The freedom that we enjoy today is the outcome of years – if not decades – of struggle. We’ve been in a period of relative peace, but the upheaval of the past year has jostled many Americans out of stupor, especially following the recent shooting of Renee Good in a city that has been overrun by federal officers. Renowned presidential historian Jon Meacham gives Ali Velshi a sober analysis of this moment in American history. “I don’t know if it’s likely we’ll prevail,” he says. “All I have is the evidence of our past which is that we have, just barely, managed to keep this experiment towards this more perfect union unfolding.”

there's a fifty post thread in reply to this that amounts to "they aren't nazis because they haven't turned the gas on yet" and it makes me wonder anew where this liberal aversion to calling nazis what they are even comes from
they have nazi tattoos, giving nazi salutes, translating nazi shit to english ver batim, but yeah why don't you go ahead and explain to the class how this isn't nazi shit if you think it would be in any way helpful or relevant

American commentators and right wing politicians are expressing shock that countries they have repeatedly threatened with invasion, disrespected on the international stage, and economically bullied are forging new alliances.

These so-called "patriotic" 🇬🇧newspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all.

They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America.

They do not really want 🇬🇧 to be sovereign. They're content being a 🇺🇸vassal.

The insurrection against the US Constitution is being pursued by President Trump and his fascist supporters.

If the US military is asked to get involved, they should deal with Trump and his co-conspirators.

Called and left messages for both of my Dem Senators opposing any funding for ICE.

WTF is wrong with our Dem leadership?

Do they think voters will vote for them in the midterms after this? Because people are getting jaded. Apathy is coming if they won’t fight.
